Today’s card features the Free as a Bird Stamp Set from the 2021-2022 Annual Catalog. It will be retiring when the new catalog comes out (May 2022). This set includes a combination of sweet birds, flowers, branches and friend-centric greetings. The bird images were stamped with Tuxedo Black Ink on Basic White Thick Cardstock. They were then colored in using the following Stampin’ Blends: Light Pool Party for the upper… Read More »
Today’s card features the gorgeous Hand-Penned Petals Bundle. The stamp set features beautifully drawn floral images and coordinating fill stamps that give the design an effortless watercolored look I did something a little different with this card – did a zig-zag stitch to anchor both pieces of the DSP together. Sewing on cards was very popular a couple of years ago and I even had a small inexpensive craft sewing… Read More »
The Hand Penned-Petals is a really pretty stamp set and the coordinating Penned Flowers Dies are the perfect complement. And the Hand-Penned Designer Series Paper (DSP)? I absolutely love it! If fact, you may want to get all three❤️ I think Highland Heather is my favorite color in the DSP color palette.

When you first see the beautiful Floral Heart Die, you may think it’s it for only Valentines, but it really can be used for so much more such as birthday, sympathy and thinking of you cards. For today’s project, I created a Happy Anniversary card with the die. I cased this idea from page 74 of the annual catalog and changed the colors. If you are new to card making,… Read More »
Today’s card features the gorgeous soon-to-be-retired True Love Designer Series Paper. I paired it with the Very Versailles Stamp Set for the greeting (love the script font greeting❤️) and the soon to be released Pansy Petals Designer Series Paper for an accent. This was a simple and quick card to make. The hardest part was cutting out the flowers & leaves with our Paper Snips. A little sponging using our… Read More »
It’s Friday and time for a fun fold card! For today’s card, I created a double fold card. The inspiration and directions are from Mary Deatherage – thanks Mary! Like Mary, I used the Art Gallery Bundle and the soon-to-be-retired absolutely gorgeous Fine Art Floral Designer Series Paper. Since I have sooo many birthdays, thinking of you and thanks cards, I decided to leave the greeting blank. I will decide… Read More »
It’s Friday and time for a fun fold project. It’s also time to say goodbye to the Country Home Stamp Set which will retire on 3 May 2021. I do not know what this fold is called but I’ll call it a Diagonal Fold. If anyone know the official name, please let me know. I’d appreciate it. I got the idea for the coloring and layout from Alisa Tilsner. Though… Read More »
Fun fact: “There’s only about 10 or 12 yellow cardinals in the eastern U.S. and eastern Canada in any given year compared to 50 million or more red cardinals. Though yellow cardinals have been spotted in several states, including Alabama, Florida, Ohio and Pennsylvania, the probability of you spotting one is 1 in a million! I wanted to use the Toile Christmas Stamp Set one more time before it retired but… Read More »
As a lover of all things purple, today’s card created with the gorgeous Stampin’ Up! Hydrangea Haven is one of my favorites! The gorgeous, gorgeous Hydrangea Hill Designer Series Paper is retiring soon. For a pop of color, I used the equally beautiful Hydrangea Hill Mercury Glass Acetate which is also retiring. To begin with, I stamped the floral image twice with Highland Heather Ink using the Stamparatus. I then colored it lightly… Read More »
